esskay77 785 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm about 6 weeks postop and on the final food plan. I get to have "real food"! lol However, I was wondering about spicy food--does anyone eat spicy food? Such as Indian food or Mexican or some hot sauce or chili. I've got a hankerin for chicken tikka masala! But, only if it's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woo woo 872 Posted February 28, 2014 Can't speak from experience but I was told by my nut that she finds that most people are able to handle about the same spicy after surgery as they were comfortable with beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted February 28, 2014 Everybody is going to have different reactions with their new stomachs. Just try small amounts and go easy re-introducing everything, including spices. There will come a time when you can eat anything and everything, but there is no reason to rush it. 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kitt3000 757 Posted February 28, 2014 Spicy doesn't work for me any longer. It sit there (not sure where there is), and burns... So no thanks! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted February 28, 2014 Oh I love, love Indian food ..I ate some a few weeks ago and it did sit well with me. I was disappointed cause I love food that is seasoned well with different flavored...Indian, Mexican, Cajun, etc. You may have a different experience .

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted February 28, 2014 I have had no problems with spicy food. Some of the first things I did on pureed were tuna or chicken pureed with Sriracha sauce, and refried Beans with lots of hot sauce added. No issues whatsoever. But try new things slowly, YMMV. 1 MIJourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladybandito 516 Posted March 1, 2014 Interesting. Spicy no longer works me, either, but when I ate spicy pre-band, I mean it was HOT spicy and I loved it. I no longer can even tolerate pickled jalapeños like from Taco Bell. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marfar7 1,533 Posted March 1, 2014 Love Mexican spicy food. However, I don't enjoy it like I did pre op cuz I can't drink Water while eating. Thats when I miss drinking the most - when I eat spicy foods. I don't think spiciness would cause any problems with ur new tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
